Calls Shots

Calls Shots (8/11)

  1. I doubt it and the and the proper phrase is "death knell" as opposed to the final "nail in the coffin".
  2. evidently, if you type EYE BEE TEE EL, this is what gets auto generated
  3. I just earned a 7-day suspension!. It is a clown show
  4. you have either never shot open, are uninformed, or both
  5. But a "sport" that changes it ruleset capriciously will eventually cease to be a sport. It will become a repositiory for a bunch of new gun owners with shiny new toys to play outside and collect participation swag.. IDGAF if this becomes a division or not but with all the pontification about plastic=2011, magwells don't matter if you practice and DA/SA =SAO, just make a minor PF, slide mounted optic, uncompensated division and lump everything in this together. It would save a lot of Internet bandwith
  6. If this is the barrier to entry for you, I would strongly consider another hobby. Do the math on a week of practice for many "competitors", people with no chance of winning a major match but who aspire to improve for their own reasons (like me). reloading/ammo costs for 500+ rounds/week local match fees. gas to drive the 80 mile round trip to the range 2x per week Then add in Majors, hotel, airfare, food, etc.. And a backup gun(s). And a backup optic or three And you are worried about basepads which will likely not need replacing for years? Time to take a hard look at your finances and decide if USPSA makes sense for you
  7. this has been a fun thread to read. Here is another suggestion for the name of the division P. rovisional U. ncompensated S. ingle Action S. lide mounted
  8. Options abound: Lose 3 rounds Fit a 9mm barrel to your slide Get a 9mm top end Buy a 9mm LO gun +/- sell the .40 gun with irons Whine on the internet that you aren't competitive in a provisional division
  9. It is too bad that there is a rule against shooting .40 minor
  10. Don't F@%# with Open, or get rid of Major. Open is just fine the way it is. Let the peasants debate the other nonsense.
  11. and even if they weren't, raise the price 25$ x 300 shooters and you have a 7500$ pasting fund. You can keep the cotton T-shirt and mediocre BBQ.
  12. ask for their financials. I'll leave it at that
  13. I know a lot of shooters who would never consider shooting a major match again without staff reset. If anyone still believes that big matches like area matches are not making money already, you have not been paying attention.
